1   Make a Father Christmas by painting a cardboard tube with red craft paint, apart from the area where the face will be. You don't need to be precise because the Foam Clay beard will cover the edge of the paint.

2   Print and cut out the template for the elf's hat which is available as a separate PDF file on this page. Copy onto red card and cut out. Glue the shape together to form a cone using Sticky Base.

3   Attach self-adhesive googly eyes. Model a nose from red Silk Clay and attach. Attach white Foam Clay along the edge of the elf's hat. Roll a small ball from white Foam Clay and attach it onto the top of the elf's hat. Attach white Foam Clay to the cardboard tube for the beard. A tip: Foam Clay and Silk Clay will stick to wood, papier-mâché etc. as long as it is moist. It air dries within 24 hours and sets hard.
